Chapter 1287: Chapter 1287: Counterattack at the Outer Harbor Chapter 1287: Chapter 1287: Counterattack at the Outer Harbor In actuality, the player legion’s combat strength was extremely formidable. With formations arranged based on class roles–tanks, damage output, healing relying on each other–as long as it wasn’t a crushing situation, it was absolutely a top-tier legion.

But the problem was that the United Army organized formation configurations for the convenience of summoning legions and under the pressure of time. They even adjusted while on the march, all for the purpose of quickly summoning the corresponding legion without causing chaos, efficiently taking down Starfire’s walls, and then determining victory or defeat in one battle.

The idea was good, in fact, many guild sieges were conducted in this way, after all, the summoned legion was the main force.

However, Starfire’s side was already limited in space. It was fine for player occupation, but summoning millions of troops would inevitably take up a lot of space in the Monster Nest, and they would have to battle the monsters, which was not worth it and unnecessary.

This created an opportunity for Starfire to exploit; in fact, there is no such thing as perfection.

Even if five million troops were summoned, if their formation got breached and became even more chaotic, the losses would be even more disastrous.

It’s like the upwind and downwind in naval battles, there is no absolute advantage or disadvantage. It’s only by considering the situation of both enemy and ally that one can determine whether upwind or downwind is more suitable. There is no constant in soldiers or water; even normal disadvantages can turn into advantages at the right moment and under the right conditions.

Now, their desire for a swift and smooth siege had become their fatal weakness.

Without front-line tank classes forming a defensive line, the United Army simply couldn’t withstand the impact of the three powerful enemy forces.

The Death Knights were the simplest, just continuously charging and trampling, naturally shattering the United Army’s formations into pieces, resulting in heavy casualties with no power to resist.

The battle method of the Wild Boars was even more brutal and straightforward. Following their roars, a tide of blood washed over everything, leaving the ground littered with shattered corpses.

And the Death Knights executed silent massacres, charging madly like cutting down wheat, coupled with the Banshees’ Charm and spirit spells, the United Army’s line collapsed in an instant.

All three lines crumbled instantly, and the entire United Army was in utter chaos. Some wanted to reorganize their army, some wanted to deal damage, some didn’t want to die and retreated, while others, not knowing what to do, just scrambled into a mess.

It was no wonder, the triple assault was fierce indeed. The defenses were breached in an instant and the slaughter began, they genuinely didn’t know what to do.

Even the two guild leaders developed differences and even engaged in fierce disputes, let alone the rest of the people below.

The guard officer watched the three raging tides continuously slicing through the United Army’s player lines, eyes filled with excitement and joy.

The two guilds brought nearly three hundred thousand players combined, which could be considered an all-out effort. Although the forest lost thirty thousand, the siege was mostly legion casualties, the players were unharmed, and in fact, there were still close to two hundred seventy to eighty thousand.

If the United Army had a normal formation configuration, it would not be certain who would win in Starfire’s less than two hundred thousand encirclement tactics. However, in fact, there were no ifs; the battle on the front line had already determined victory or defeat from the moment the encirclement was formed.

In these more than two hundred thousand player war spaces, millions of troops could have been summoned, but they just couldn’t be. The suffocating feeling of being continuously slaughtered could be imagined.

“Is this why they summoned the Worm Tribe? At first, I thought the Worm Tribe wanted to strike from the rear. It seems my courage isn’t big enough; no wonder my guild isn’t developing,” HY said with a bitter smile.

“You mainly focus your energy on making video commentary and live streaming, where’s the time to manage a guild? Having a gamers’ guild for leisure isn’t too bad,” Feng Yi said, seeing that the overall situation on this side was settled and finally relaxing.

“The victory on the front line is beyond doubt; it’s just a matter of how long it will take. How do you plan to win at the Outer Harbour Area?” HY asked.

“That’s Sister Li’s business, how would I know,” Feng Yi also turned her gaze toward the battle in the Outer Harbour Area.

On the battlefield of the Outer Harbour, atop the walls, Phantom reappeared beside Sister Li, “The outcome of the front line has been settled.”

Sister Li nodded, “That doesn’t surprise me. How are we prepared on this side? If we don’t launch our attack soon, the United Army getting word might create unforeseen complications. If they start escaping by ship, I’m not worried about them getting away; it would just be a pity for those merchant vessels.”

“All forces have been positioned. We’re just waiting for the Vice Guild Leader’s command,” Phantom replied.

Sister Li revealed a slight smile, “Good, then let’s counterattack. The Moon God will be our signal.”

Beside Starfire’s Lord’s mansion in the inner city, a group of Starfire players gathered in front of a temple. Though not large, it was exquisitely elegant.

The temple was magnificent, located right by the Lord’s mansion, thriving with flourishing flowers and plants nourished by the World Tree. Along with the gardener’s hard work, this spot had become especially favored by Starfire players, couples in particular.

Compared to the small altar outside the temple, the statue of the Moon God inside stood silently, bathed in a hazy glow that made it seem exceedingly sacred.

This was the only temple within the Dark Camp that had received the Moon God’s recognition and divine radiance. It was the Starfire’s guarded sanctuary, though it had never been activated before; players had always thought it served a decorative purpose.

But today, a dozen Starfire players quickly took out moonstones with a chill, moonlike glow from an ancient box and placed them on the altar.

As the players offered the moonstones, the Moon Goddess Statue’s light formed a pillar shooting up to the sky, exceptionally blinding against the dark night sky.

The United Army also noticed this pillar of light, but just as the swordsmen were about to inquire about the situation from the scouts using the Eagle Eye Technique, they saw an endless shower of moonlight descend from the moon above.

The moonlight enveloped the entire range of Starfire’s city, and all Starfire affiliated players and legions emitted a faint luminescence.

Divine Blessing of the Moon God: Receive the Moon God’s blessing. Under the moonlight, all attributes increased by 15%, and attacks carry Moon Fire, which can scorch the opponent’s armor, reducing it by 5% for every stack of Moon Fire.

The members of the United Army were similarly bathed in dim moonlight, but the effects were starkly different.

Punishment of the Moon God: Under the moonlight, all attributes decreased by 12%, agility reduced to 75% of normal.

On the front lines, with the blessing of the Moon God, Starfire’s legion became even more powerful, while the already collapsing United Army grew even more desperate.

In the Outer Harbour Area, the Wheat Mango Guild was still oblivious to Starfire’s intentions when they heard exclamations from around them.

“Guild Leader, quick, look underwater,” shouted a scout.

The swordsman hastily leaned over to look into the water, only to see dense silver figures below. Though the light was hazy, they could still make out the shapes of Frogmen, Naga, and Murlocs.

“Not good, they’re boarding the ships.”

The swordsman realized too late. Countless Murlocs, Naga, and Frogmen, under the Moon God’s blessing, swiftly boarded the vessels, while new movements were seen on the city walls – the Outer Harbour Area, the counteroffensive began…
